As the title suggests, I have been stuck on 48/49 in the Quant section. I want to jump to 50+. I have completed both the green QR book and OG math questions and reviewed all my mistakes. But I still keeping getting some of those questions wrong.

What should I do? I am a bit frustrated here, because I was able to score a perfect 800 on my GRE quant. Any additional questions I should be looking at ?? how is GMATFocus? Would it help ?

Moadhia, that's a tough one. I think your problem might be that although the Official Guides have lots of practice, they don't have that much practice for the hardest questions. Are the 48/49 quant scores you quoted from GMATPrep tests?

Have you looked at The Official Guide Companion book from GMATFix? That's what I used. the book has 10 advanced quant drills that look and feel very similar to the GMATPrep questions.

I'm pretty sure that Manhattan GMAT has a set of "challenge questions" that also tries to serve people with your specific ability level

Kaplan also has a book for people of high quant ability, but I've heard that its questions don't feel like genuine GMAT questions.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
